Doti - Tumbal Ilmu Hitam is a 2025 horror film that dives deep into trauma and superstition, anchored by Ikhsan's journey to confront his family's dark past. The atmosphere feels thick with dread, especially in the scenes set at the grave—there’s a palpable tension that lingers in the air. Ahmad Pule’s performance as Ikhsan carries a weight of sorrow, while Sri Herawati, as his mother, expertly portrays that mix of fear and maternal love. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, lending a raw edge to the supernatural elements. The pacing is deliberate; it builds towards a climax that feels earned, rather than rushed. Themes of legacy and the burden of accusation are woven throughout, making it distinct in the genre.
